Statalist

Introduction

Do you know about the independently operated Stata listserver? Hosted at the Harvard School of Public Health, Statalist is an email listserver where over 4,900 Stata users from experts to neophytes maintain a lively dialogue about all things statistical and Stata.

If you have an Internet email address, you can subscribe, and it’s absolutely free. You do not have to own Stata to join Statalist.

  • To subscribe send an email to majordomo@hsphsun2.harvard.edu with subscribe statalist in the body of the message, not in the subject line. The subject line does not matter. Please use plain text when communicating with the majordomo software.

  • After you subscribe, you will receive email as a member of the list.
    You can join the discussions, or you can just listen.
    To post to Statalist, send email to statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu.

  • If the discussions turn out not to interest you, you can unsubscribe by sending email to majordomo@hsphsun2.harvard.edu with unsubscribe statalist in the body of the message, not in the subject line. The subject line does not matter.

Note: To receive a digest version of Statalist, type statalist-digest in the body of the message instead of statalist. For example, subscribe statalist-digest.

Statalist is maintained by Marcello Pagano. If you have private comments or difficulty with the automatic subscription software, send him email at pagano@hsph.harvard.edu. If you subscribe to Statalist and your email address changes, Marcello can help you.

We recommend that all Stata users subscribe to Statalist. Subscribing is easy, and if it turns out not to be useful for you, unsubscribing is equally easy.

Statalist ado-file archives

The Boston College Statistical Software Components Archive, maintained by Christopher Baum, contains all postings of complete programs or commands to Statalist. The archive also contains scripts and programs for other statistical and mathematical programs. All these programs may be accessed through two services:

  • IDEAS, hosted by the Economic Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

  • EconPapers, hosted by the Department of Business, Economics, Statistics, and Informatics at Örebro University, Sweden. (This link may provide faster access to those in Europe.)

The most reliable way to examine and install new commands from the Statalist ado-file archives is to use Stata’s ssc command.

For information on finding new commands from all resources, we recommend that you take a look at Finding resources from within Stata.
